Officials offer assurance that all storm debris will be removed

Lazaro Aleman ECB Publishing, Inc. County commissioners are asking residents to be patient with the hurricane debris removal and disposal operation that is currently underway. “I know that it's been a hot topic and that it seems like it's been arduously slow, but the piles are going away,” Commission Chairman J. T. Surles noted at the evening meeting on Thursday, Oct. 17. “So, we appreciate everyone's patience, and we’re going to get everything picked up eventually.” He took note that commissioners were receiving calls from constituents who were concerned that their hurricane debris wasn’t being removed timely, or that only a portion of the debris was being hauled away when
